Crab Foo Young (one coconut rice and one jasmine rice)
Tamiko B.

Final reserve seating 8:45 PM as closing time is listed as 9 PM. Key is to know your order as the chef wants to go home. The cuisine was outstanding. We had the libation flight and the family meal for two. Photos of all we consumed and two out of three libations from the cocktail flight. OUTSTANDING! *****

Super tasty food and delicious cocktails! This spot offers lip-smacking good small to large plates in a casual setting. Hubs and I went for the "Family Meal" for 2- a good and very filling deal of 2 small plates, 1 big plate, 1 noodle, bottomless rice, and donuts or Jello shots. We also each got a Cocktail Flight of 3 yummy, thoughtful, heady, and full-size drinks. While everything from our order was very good, standouts were the Sizzling Sisig, Chili Pan Mee, and the Coconut Rice. Everything's so good, you'll be oinking and mooing! NOTES/TIPS: *Wheelchair-accessible. *Excellent down-to-earth service. *Menu periodically changes.

Oo this is an interesting spot. I've been wanting to try more Filipino foods in the city, and this was one option and came up a couple times. Came here for brunch and this restaurant is a bit grunge (in an intentional way). The sink is duct-taped, and their expanded seating area in the back is a bit dark and cold (and feels a bit like you're outside?). The restaurant front is a bit hard to find and very unassuming. I ordered the sigsig with garlic rice and also tried the khao soi and pan mee noodles. Everything was super flavorful, but I was a bit disappointed by the portion sizes for the price AND the fact that the sigsig didn't come with rice? It's an extremely salty and overwhelming dish without it, so I highly recommend getting that as a side. My partner really enjoyed the food FWIW. Also tried the cilantro soda out of curiosity and I think it is worth skipping. It's kind of like a sprite with cilantro leaves in it, and not worth it for $9. We were able to make reservations easily and there's a brunch-specific menu on the weekends. It wasn't overwhelmingly busy on a Sunday peak brunch hours but fairly lively. Service was friendly, and food comes out as it's ready (but our food came altogether)

So great! Service was impeccable, and the food is absolutely fantastic. I love the ambiance as well - very fun, colorful, a bit loud, with pop music. Favorite dishes include the sizzling sisig, whole fish, and the green papaya salad. While the spareribs fell off the bone, they were a bit chewy, which was an odd paradox. The noodles also could have used a bit more spice. Small thing, but I wish they had a hook for my purse.

Service was a mixed bag of good and bad, food was just alright and dessert were forgettable. Their NA drinks are better than the actual cocktails. Sisig is worth coming back for but not enough for a full meal.

Shrimp spring rolls

We did the combo on the day and that was probably the best value for what we got. We also got the drinks combo which was ideal. We got quite a bit of different foods and it wasn't even really busy yet but our food took quite a while to come out after the apps and first couple mains. The ambiance of the place is nice and it's quite unique. However I wasn't very wowed by the flavors of the food. They were all good but just that. I think it does appeal to a lighter taste and would be a good exploration into the cuisine but not really for someone who's familiar in my opinion

This Thai/Filipino spot on the LES feels like a party, but with flavorful, interesting dishes This Southeast Asian restaurant led by the talented chef Leah Cohen is an excellent pick for a lively meal with friends. Be sure to order the whole fried fish, P&K wings ,Khao Soi, Hainanese Duck and finish with the traditional dessert Turon. What we tried Drinks Fool me twice Sweet and sour cilantro soda Appetizers P&K Chicken wings Shrimp & pork spring rolls Main course Khao soi Whole fried fish Hainanese Duck Desserts Turon Stop by and dine in today Love the spot and the food is super scrumptious

Place has great vibe and ambiance is nice too- Had a great time- Serving staff is awesome too and they really take care of the party. Food was good. Totally recommend!! We all even got complimentary shots!! Shrimp spring rolls were the best-For party of 20 we had two small plates-one main entree and Noodles with two kind of desserts!

curried beef skewers
Alice Z.

Food: 4.5/5 | Service: 4.5/5 | Experience: 4.5/5 Seating at least at the front of the restaurant is a bit tight. My party of 2 ordered the sizzling sisig, curried beef skewers, the coco rice, and the Hainanese duck. The sisig was the best thing I had; it was salty, texturally interesting, and tart from the squeeze of lime we put. The skewers were merely ok; I wasn't too impressed by the taste. The rice was creamy and rich and a bit sweet. By the time the duck arrived, we were full, but had to at least try the duck; it was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and the portion size was fair for the price.

Pork Belly Adobo and Coco Rice
Morgan Z.

I was craving a little Filipino comfort food so I stopped in to Pig and Khao on a rainy day and I'm glad I did! The inside was really cute and definitely a great spot to go for groups or for a date night. The servers were really nice and did ask before ordering if I had any dietary accommodations that needed to be made. I ordered the pork belly adobo and coconut rice. The pork belly was both tender and crispy and full of classic adobo flavors. I loved it paired with coconut rice. I will most definitely be back here with a group so I can try more of the small and large plates. The sinigang shrimp looked so good and I can't wait to try that dish in the future!

Khao Soi (Top) ; Chili Pan Mee (Bottom)
Veronica L.

I was looking forward to trying this spot bc I've heard good things. However, I must've ordered the wrong dish bc my Chili Pan Mee was SALTY. It wasn't even the anchovies, but the pork! I had to ask the staff for some lime to cut through the saltiness. It made it hard for me to finish my bowl. Other than that, the noodles were a good texture and the bowl had just the right amount of spice. Staff were attentive and informed us on how to eat the dishes. Unfortunately, I'm a bit reluctant to come back, as I've had better Filipino, Viet, and Thai food at other spots for the same price point. I'm glad other folks in LES enjoy the spot though.

Fantastic food. Big fan of chef Cohen and this spot doesn't disappoint. Big r&b vibes with famous pan Asian type style foods. Ie- sisig, Bo Kho, hainanese duck. Must order... P&k wings We were late with our resy and they were able to move things around and get us seated. Much love to the Pig & Khao crew

Ask the Community - Pig and Khao

Is this place appropriate to have my two kids along for an early 5:00 dinner?

Early should be fine for kids. Later in the evening it is quite packed and more lively with loud music so I wouldn't recommend.

I couldn't find sisig on their menu. Did they get rid of it? Does anyone remember the name of their watermelon cocktail drink?

It's on the appetizer menu now. Unsure if the portions changed

Can we order your Restaurant Week delivery on Yelp? What's the menu?

I don't know the answer to this, but I can vouch for the Goldbelly nationwide DIY prep kit delivery service that they participate in. In my Yelp writeup I discuss the various dishes I received.

Do they do restaurant week for winter 2020?

Yes! We went last night for restaurant week $42/person

Are there a good number of gluten-free options on the menu?

Yes a lot of the meat and vegetables don't have gluten

Does Pig & Khao have happy hour?? Any details on it?

They do not.

Peanut allergy food options?

A large portion of our menu does not contain peanuts.

Do they serve the Pad Thai Pancake all day everyday?

The Padcakes are only served at dinner. They are available from 5-7pm 7 days a weeks in limited quantities, we recommend coming in early to make sure you get one before they are gone.

Everything tastes really fresh, veggies are always perfect, and their tofu is outstanding, so flavorful.

They had a very respectable pad see ew beef - sweet and savory, good amount of egg, a little stronger bitter broccoli but otherwise a good dish, good quantity to fill you up even though in the bowl it seemed smaller than it actually was with the rice noodle cooked well. The steamed sea bass with garlic and lime (Pla Neueng Manow) had beautifully cooked sea bass with a very nice spicy/sour/savory green garlic sauce which I'll have to try again. The fried version is supposedly very good, too, and the one person that always gets the basil fried rice had a wonderful aroma that we'll have to try again later. Mango sticky rice was a tasty dessert (although we probably didn't need the 3 orders they recommended for our table of 6), though usually like I like the purple rice version better, and came with a very cute shovel spoon. They gave a free birthday dessert of caramel delight which was ok, crumbly and sweet (I'm not a caramel fan but others liked it). Overall, good experience and solid food - while not the best Thai I've ever had, this certainly is a keeper for the Midtown East area. Will come again soon to try the lunch specials! Service was a little slow due to how busy they were, but do appreciate the birthday candle for the birthday friend!

We started with the curry puffs and satay buns, both of which were easy wins. No complaints, I would happily order them again. The Khao Soi was the highlight of my meal.

The drink itself was fairly average, but it came with a lychee mochi that completely stole the show. I honestly enjoyed the mochi more than the drink itself.

I happily introduced her to my two favorite go tos: the crab fried rice and the steamed branzino. The crab fried rice was nothing like I was used to. Even at some of the other notable Thai restaurants I've been to, their crab fried rice presentation was basic compared to this one. The egg on this fried rice was soft and melty the soon it touches your tongue, and we didn't even have to chew it. It melted perfectly with the buttery crab and the rice was so warm and soft. It was a sizable portion but it didn't take us long to gobble it all down. Then came the steamed branzino. The presentation here I want to say is so unique that it blew me away. The fish was cut so that the head and tail of the fish was chopped off (a little disappointed but glad it was clean cut), the fish was so soft you would question if it was even fish...the soup was lightly seasoned with chili and lime and it wasn't super overpoweringly spicy that you can still taste the fish flavor. Everything was delicious and they even had a pre fixe menu that I will definitely come back and try again! My drink I ordered was also very creative and a mix of strong bourbon with the creaminess of Thai tea. Very interesting combination but I don't hate it! It was strong and welcoming and I want to try the other drinks when I come back as well. As pictured, the drink menu is beautiful and our server came back and forth to make sure everything was okay. We actually stayed past closing hours but they weren't rushing us (which was very hospitable of them)

My friend ordered the pork chop for his entree and it came with two large chops. Good to take back as leftovers.
